자생식물과 귀화식물을 대상으로 allelochemicals를 분석하고 그 항균효과를 조사하였다. 자생식물과 귀화식물 추출액 간의 가용성 고형물 함량에는 차이를 보이지 않았고 자생식물인 까마중의 가용성 고형물 함량이 90 mg/ml로 가장 높게 나타났다. 자생식물의 에탄을 추출액에 의한 Aspergillus phoenicis KCTC 1228의 항균력은 까마중에서만 나타났으며 clear zone이 18 mm였고 포자형성은 억제되었다. 귀화식물 중 돼지풀과 망초에서 포자형성이 억제되면서 clear zone이 24 mm와 22 mm로 형성되었고 미국자리공과 원추천인국은 포자가 형성되면서 clear zone이 22 mm와 19 mm로 나타났다. 자생식물인 까마중과 귀화식물인 미국자리공과 돼지풀에서 토양미생물인 Bacillus sphiaericus 2362와 Bacillus sphiaericus 2291, Bacillus thuringiensis var. subtilis와 Bacillus thuringiensis var. cereus에서 항균력이 나타났는데 돼지풀이 각 균주에서 항균활성이 가장 크게 나타났다. 특히 Bacillus thuringiensis var. subtilis에서 clear zone이 32 mm로 활성이 강하게 조사되었다. 일반적으로 추출액내의 가용성 고형물 함량이 높을수록 항균 활성이 크게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 자생식물인 까마중과 귀화식물인 미국자리공과 돼지풀의 추출액을 HPLC로 성분분석한 결과 까마중은 hydroquinone외 3종이, 미국자리공은 cinnamic acid외 5종이, 돼지풀은 benzoic acid외 7종이 분석되었다. Phenolic compound 각각에 대한 Aspergillus phoenicis KCTC 1228에 대한 항균력은 coumaric acid와 benzoic acid에서 조사되었다.

수 종의 한국자생식물과 귀화식물의 서식지 토양 pH를 측정한 결과 자생식물의 토양 pH범위는 5.33∼7.20인 반면 귀화식물의 토양 pH는 3.95∼6.10으로 자생종에 비하여 귀화종의 토양 pH가 낮았다. 자생식물과 귀화식물의 에탄올 추출액이 토양미생물인 Bacillus sphiaericus 2362, Bacillus thuringiensis var. subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis var. cereus, Actinomycetes에 미치는 항균활성 은 자생식물보다 귀화식물이 전반적으로 활성이 높게 나타났다. 돼지풀의 추출액은 4개의 균주 모두에서 항균활성이 크게 나타났고 특히 방선균에서 clear zone 이 48mm로 가장 크게 형성되었다. 8종류의 phenolic compound와 benzoic acid의 항균활성은 caffeic acid가 각 균주 에서 clear zone을 가장 크게 형성하였고 다음은 benzoic acid, ρ-coumaric acid의 순이였다. 즉 방선균에 대한 돼지풀의 항균활성은 phenolic compound들 간의 상승효과에 의하여 형성된 것임을 알 수 있었다.

해양미생물로부터 사람 Low Density Lipoprotein(LDL)에 대한 항산화 활성 균주를 검색 하였든 바 부산 인근연안에서 항산화 활성이 높은 Bacillus sp. RH-5를 분리 동정하였다. Bacillus sp. RH-5의 항산화 활성물질의 생산 최적 배지는 1.0% glucose, 0.25% polypeptone, 0.25% yeast extract, 0.01% $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 50% sea water 이였다. 이때 최적 조건은 pH 7.0, 배양오도는 $30^{\circ}C$ 및 배양시간은 48시간에서 항산화 활성이 가장 높았다. 사람 LDL을 $1~5\;\mu\textrm{M}\;CuSo_4$ 존재하에서 산화 시킨 결과 Bacillus sp. RH-5 배양액의 ethyl acetate 추출물의 500 및 $1,000\;\mu\textrm{g}/ml$에서 산화가 억제되었으며 또 $5\;\mu\textrm{M}\;CuSo_4$ 존재하에서 산화 시킨 LDL의 전기 영동거리는 native LDL 보다 다소 높았으나 LDL에 ethyl acetate 추출물을 첨가한 경우 그 이동거리는 native LDL과 거의 비슷하였다.

This study was investigated the effects of feeding the combination with Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis on the diarrhea incidence and fecal microflora of weaned calves. A total of 12 newly weaned calves were allocated to two dietary treatments in a randomized design based on body weight. The dietary treatments included a commercial basal diet supplemented with: 1) no microbial inoculants (Control); 2) a mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis (LB). Calves were fed diets for a 4-week period. At the end of the experiment, the counts of fecal lactic acid bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae in LB were significantly improved compared to control (P<0.05). Over the 4-week period, fecal scores and duration of diarrhea in LB were significantly decreased compared with those in control (P<0.05). The present results suggest that LB is a potential feed additive which could be used for the balance of intestinal microflora and the prevention of diarrhea in Korean native calves.

Expression of the crylAcl gene of an acrystalliferous Bacillus thuringiensis strain under the control of the native or $\alpha$-amylase gene promoter was investigated. The crylAcl gene was cloned in a B. thuringiensis - E. coli shutle vector, pHT3101, undder the control of either the native promoter (pProAc) or the $\alpha$-amylase promoter from Bacillus subtilis (pAmyAc). These two recombinant plasmids were successfully expressed in B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Cry B. The first transformant (ProAc/CB), harboring pProAc, expressed an about 130 kDa protein begining 24 hr after inoculations just as in the case of the wild type of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73. The second pAmyAc-transformant (AmyAc/CB) began to express the gene just 6 hr after inoculation, but Western analysis showed that the activity of the $\alpha$-amylase promoter was relatively weaker than that of the native promoter. As expected, their toxicity against Plutella xylostella larvae was dependent on the amount of Cry1Acl protein expressed.

Bacillus Anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax. The major virulence factors are a poly-D glutamic acid capsule and three-protein component exotoxin, which is collectively known as anthrax toxin, protective antigen (PA, 83 kDa), lethal factor (LF, 90 kDa), and edema factor (EF, 89 kDa). These three proteins individually have no known toxic activities, but in combination with PA form two toxins (lethal toxin and edema toxin), causing different pathogenic responses in animals and cultured cells. However, it remains to be elucidated for pathogenic mechanism of anthrax toxin. In this study, we constructed toxin component in bacterial overexpression system and purified the native toxin from Bacillus anthracis delta sterne F32 using FPLC system. Recombinant toxin showed high homogeneity and rapid purification processes. Also, this recombinant toxin was comparable to B. anthracis native toxin in terms of cytotoxic effects on cultured cell lines.

A novel putative toxin-antitoxin segregational stability system named KyAB system was identified in a novel native plasmid pBMB8240 from Bacillus thuringiensis strain YBT-1520, based on sequences homology with other toxin-antitoxin systems, the lethal activity of the KyB putative toxin in Escherichia coli and the stabilizing effect of the kyAB system in Bacillus thuringiensis. Secondarily, the native plasmid pBMB9741 from the same strain was resequenced and the corrected plasmid was named as pBMB7635. Based on sequence homology with the tasAB system and the lethal activity of toxin protein in Escherichia coli, a tasAB-like putative toxin-antitoxin system was identified on pBMB7635.

토양 미생물로부터 스크리닝한 미생물 중 카탈라제 생산량이 높은 세 가지 미생물 (Bacillaceae bacterium BKBChE-1, Bacillus sp. BKBChE-2와 Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3)을 배양하여 얻은 카탈라제 효소가 과산화수소를 분해하는 것을 확인하고, 미생물 균체를 천연제올라이트에 정전기적 흡착법으로 고정하였다. 주사전자 현미경을 통해 각각의 미생물이 지지체에 잘 흡착된 것이 관찰되었고, 10.5 mM의 과산화수소를 1시간 이내에 완전히 분해되는 것을 확인하였다. 과산화수소 분해 속도가 가장 빠른 Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3은 온도와 pH 영향성 실험을 통해 고온과 pH 10 이상의 강알칼리 조건에서도 30일 이후까지 미생물이 생존하는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 고정화된 미생물의 경우 온도 $25-40^{\circ}C$, pH 7-10의 조건에서 생균수가 계속하여 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 실험을 통해 Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3이 생산한 카탈라제 효소 뿐만 아니라 고정화된 균체도 과산화수소의 제거에 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 결과로부터 미생물 발효를 통해 생산된 효소의 생산량 증가와 미생물 개체 수 증가를 이용하여 산업폐수에 적용하면, 과산화수소의 제거 효율을 높이고 균체 재활용을 통한 공정비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is a perennial herb prone to various root diseases, with Phytophthora cactorum being considered one of the most dreaded pathogens. P. cactorum causes foliar blight and root rot. Although chemical pesticides are available for disease control, attention has been shifted to viable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective biological means such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for control of diseases. Methods: Native Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain HK34 was isolated from wild ginseng and assessed as a biological control agent for ginseng. Leaves from plants treated with HK34 were analyzed for induced systemic resistance (ISR) against P. cactorum in square plate assay. Treated plants were verified for differential expression of defense-related marker genes using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: A total of 78 native rhizosphere bacilli from wild P. ginseng were isolated. One of the root-associated bacteria identified as B. amyloliquefaciens strain HK34 effectively induced resistance against P. cactorum when applied as soil drench once (99.1% disease control) and as a priming treatment two times in the early stages (83.9% disease control). A similar result was observed in the leaf samples of plants under field conditions, where the percentage of disease control was 85.6%. Significant upregulation of the genes PgPR10, PgPR5, and PgCAT in the leaves of plants treated with HK34 was observed against P. cactorum compared with untreated controls and only pathogen-treated plants. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate HK34 as a potential biocontrol agent eliciting ISR in ginseng against P. cactorum.
